TBH its kind of stupid to let him post bail, from a personal safety perspective. Every antifa basement dweller from miles around will decend on him unless he goes completely off-grid. Its possible that this might be a strat from the DA to let the mob do the sentencing for them. They very likely know they won't get anything more serious than a dereliction of duty charge out of a jury trial, even though they desperately want to show him the chair. This might be their way of give the mob what it wants and washing their hands of it at the same time.

That was more or less my first thought. A mob's gonna try to kill him.
I have to wonder the same thing.. The mob would hunt him down before he could stand trial...
